Wow... that is fantastic... nicely done

Thank you!
I just wanted something different..I happy with the way it has turned out so far. I've been trying to come up with some cool ideas for tap handles. I was thinking about cutlass sword handles or blunderbuss pistols or something.
 
Was just wondering if anybody on the forum has used of these stainless films on their keezer?

I think I could talk the wife into keeping it in the kitchen/family room area if it fit in with the rest of the applicances.
I noticed this in the description. It sounds really thin and fragile. I'd order the trial size piece first and try it on something first.
"Will stick to a textured refrigerator, but some of the texture "may" show through. Order a sample first to test."
 
thought I would post mine, so there.

I had sketched up ideas for my first keezer similar to what you did. My final design ended up much less pirate like, but I did a lot of digging through pictures online of wooden chests. I was thinking of using some wrought iron fence post finials as tap handles, or wooden handles wrapped in rope. Maybe make a handle that looks like a rolled up treasure map. A bottle with a note inside. A parrot. Stack of doubloons or gold coins. Stick of dynamite. How about making handles with sails on them, and ropes loosely stranded between them as if they were masts of a pirate ship. You could fly the jolly Roger from your middle tap.

Nice tap handle ideas!
 
After 8 months of planning and working here is my keezer!

The lid and backsplash still need to be tiled (coincidentally I have the same glass mosaic tile that ttumotion used on his) and some corner trim needs to be applied, along with various other odds and ends, but it pours beer!

Thanks to everyone who shared their build process on this forum and anyone who answered questions (mine and others)!

My build thread is here and also please check out the Coffin Keezer List

Here it is tiled!!!

Thanks!

It is a bulava - a Cossack hetman's ceremonial mace - its a Ukrainian cultural thing.

Help me with a Ukrainian toast... it is something like "Boy-jaa" or "Die Boy-jaa"

Are you familiar with it? I am sure the spelling is way off, I was just sounding it out.

P.S. your keezer rules!
 
Here is my in progress set up. The cabinet below the taps is currently being refinished to match the top. Also there are doors and a cask swan neck tap that is coming out the front of the beer engine.

the last picture is of the back of that wall.

Nostrovia? That's what my brother's Ukranian wife says for toasting... but apparently it's Russian.

"Budmo" or "Dybosia" (not sure on the spelling) is a Ukranian toast. They mean something along the lines of "May we live forever"

"Na zdorov'ya" is Russian, and actually not a drinking cheer / toast from what I understand, though it has been improperly used as such for years by non-russians that it has become one.

Thanks!
 
My basic 3 tap keezer. Went with the forward sealing ss perlicks, so not really thinking of a drip tray yet. Honestly...these things just don't drip. Rarely if at all.

Na zdorov'ya (На здровя) means "on (or to) your health" in Russian. Many other languages say apx the same thing before a drink, so I would say that's a fair aproximation of a toast.
 
I just completed my keezer. I took inspiration from here, though I came up with a different means of attaching the drip tray.

The keezer:

For the drip tray mount, I bought 2 15" hanging plant hooks from Lowe's. I bent them slightly, both to make the tray sit level, and to center it under the faucets. See here:

Stealing your drip tray design now! My double sided 3m tape did not work out :cross:

Yes but from what I have read, it is primarily used as a response to "spasibo" (thank you) it everyday settings, and not necessarily a "toast".

then again, the Brits use "cheers" outside of toasts all of the time.
